[DA 01-2430]


Change in Filing Procedures

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document announces new procedures for all persons wishing 
to hand-deliver documents at the filing counter of the Federal 
Communications Commission's (the Commission) Secretary. The new 
procedures are due to precautionary measures.

DATES: The new procedures were effective on October 17, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Magalie Roman Salas, Secretary, FCC, 
(202) 418-0300.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a notice for all persons wishing to 
hand-deliver documents at the filing counter of the Commission's 
Secretary, located at 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC. As a 
precautionary measure, effective immediately and until further notice, 
the following procedures are in place:
     The staff at the Secretary's filing counter will not 
accept documents enclosed in envelopes.
     Any filer or messenger carrying such documents into the 
Commission's building will be asked to leave the building and dispose 
of the envelope in a receptacle that will be placed outside the 
building. Once this is done, the filer or messenger will be allowed to 
proceed to the filing counter.
     Originals and copies of each official filing must continue 
to be addressed to the Commission's Secretary and held together with 
rubber bands or fasteners. As usual, ``stamp and return'' copies will 
be provided as long as they clearly accompany each individual filing.
     Documents intended to be received by specific staff 
persons within Bureaus and Offices must be clearly labeled on the first 
page of the document or with a cover sheet indicating the destination. 
As appropriate, originals and copies must be held together with rubber 
bands or fasteners.
     Filings requesting confidential treatment under the 
Commission's rules must also be filed without envelopes. As long as the 
request for confidential treatment is clearly indicated on the first 
page of the filing, the staff at the filing counter will enclose the 
filing in a Commission envelope labeled ``confidential'' to signal that 
the filing contains material that is subject to a request for 
confidential treatment.
     The Office of the Secretary will work with specific 
Bureaus and Offices, as appropriate, to handle bulk filings in 
accordance with the precautionary measures described.
    As the Commission continues to balance its efforts to be accessible 
to its customers with the need for heightened security measures, the 
Commission encourages its customers to make full use of the 
Commission's electronic filing systems to facilitate the filing of 
documents.

Federal Communications Commission.
Magalie Roman Salas,
Secretary.
